From: Peripheral neural cell sensitivity to mTHPC-mediated photodynamic therapy in a 3D in vitro model
Representative micrographs showing (A) mTHPC fluorescence within the cell body of neurons (i and ii), satellite glia (iii) and MCF-7 cells (iv), but not detected in neurites (v). (B) Confocal micrograph projections confirming the presence of mTHPC fluorescence in neuronal cell body and satellite glia, but none detectable along the neurite. Meta-tetrahydroxyphenyl chlorin fluorescence is shown in red, β-III-tubulin immunoreactivity is shown in green, nuclei are blue. All scale bars are 20 μm. Confocal images are maximum intensity projections from 40 optical sections in a 14 μm z-series.
